This document presents the possible technological advances that are better than those currently employed by Tesla cars. The core idea in producing a car that is superior to Tesla cars in technical terms is the Transparent Car. The Transparent Car is constructed out of transparent plastics. The most important of which are those of acrylic and polycarbonate. With the use of plastics, the whole body of the car will be molded in very few pieces and completely transparent forming an exoskeleton. The transparency increases aerodynamic efficiency, solar panel surface area, safety due to the visibility and strength, and ease of repairing because components are visible. The batteries are a mix of fixed and removable. The removeable batteries allow the option to equip the Transparent Car with batteries that are larger than Tesla cars and easy upgrading to the latest battery technologies. To allow high performance and longevity of battery life, a supercapacitor battery will be added to store enough energy to reach a cruising speed such as 100 km/h. To increase symmetry and reduce wire sizes, each wheel will have a permanent magnet brushless outrunner motor directly driving the wheels fed by separate sets of batteries. There will be no gear or steering mechanism. The steering will use vectoring which enables the smallest turning circle while also increasing hull space. The preferred suspension is air suspension because of the need to adjust the height of the vehicle as well as taking advantage of the air compressor to air cool the motors and batteries, while exploiting filed patents to reduce aerodynamic drag and increase collision damage resistance. There will be remote safety drivers to assist the self-driving systems because it will be impossible to provide a perfect autonomous system. The techniques used for self-driving will be primarily cameras and RADAR, like Tesla cars but with options for LIDAR, 3D map and public sourced maps. To test all these technologies, scale modelling will be used. A lot of inspirations for the design of the Transparent Car had come from the scale modelling community.

Othman bin Ahmad is a professional engineer registered with the Malaysian Board of Engineers. He graduated with BSc First Class Honours in Electronic Engineering at City University, London in 1981 taking various modules which included Computer Engineering. Later in 1986, he completed his MSc in Information Technology where he finished various assignments which included two integrated circuit designs and a compiler. He worked as a Telecommunication Engineer at Telekom Malaysia Berhad, from 1981 to 2009 with breaks to complete his MSc and study leave at Nanyang Technological University from 1990 to 1993 where he also worked as a lecturer teaching Assembler and Loader. His main research as well as registered PhD topic was Computer Architecture. From 2009 he worked as a Senior Lecturer at University Malaysia Sabah for the Computer Engineering Department teaching Computer Architecture. Retiring from UMS in 2021 as an Associate Professor in the renamed Electronic Engineering(Computer) program.

His was awarded the ASDK by the State Government of Sabah for contribution to Sabah. He had completed many Telecommunication projects which include solar powered rural communication, and transfered to all the various engineering departments. He had published conference papers and journals which include indexed publishers. He has self published only in eBooks at both Smashwords and Apple Books using research materials that include his own papers either published by other publishers or not.

He has filed 6 patents at UKIPO, USPTO and MYIPO, with a few of them granted with titles such as Zero Energy Transportation System, Zero Aerodynamic Drag Vehicles, An Optimum Hybrid Vehicle, Optimum Collision Damage Reduction System, Imperfect Perpetual Motion Heat Engine and Simplest Word-size Scalable Processor. Despite their controversial topics Zero Aerodynamic Drag Vehicles and Imperfect Perpetual Motion Heat Engine were granted by UKIPO. None had been granted b USPTO but the reasons for rejection are just absurd so need to proceed to the Supreme Court of the USA to get approval.

He is active in self publishing in eBooks such as Smashwords and Blogs. eBooks allow more structured and thorough reading but Blogs and discussion groups allow instant backup of articles and views on certain topics which had come handy for inclusion in the eBooks.
